I'm looking for someone who has one of the old rotary fog light switches. The kind that I think clamps to the bottom of the dash...I'm thinking about getting one. If you have one of these installed, could you please send or post a picture of it? Thanks!

I have one on my '51. It came with the truck when I bought it. I keep a sharp eye for them at swaps and they are very hard to come by. I have only seen one other one in all my looking.

Thank you! The one I am trying to get is like yours, without the Unity script, it has a yellow/brown knob. It has a fuse on the back side of it too. I would imagine it just screw-clamps to the bottom edge of the dash?

Correctomondo Russ. Plus there is a lamp in the switch that illuminates the switch when it is on. I have had mixed luck with making the lamp work. It will come on and work for me at times, but it is inconsistent. It's pretty bright too. It illuminates the whole cream part of the switch, but only when it's on.

Kook, sounds like a ground problem. Any idea why the label says unity lights?

Yes Fred, I do know why the label says Unity Lights. Because they are made by Unity Manufacturing and they are Unity Foglamps, the same company that made the spotlight that says Unity on it. The switch came with the light kit.

As far as ground, yes and no, that is not really the problem. The problem is that the bulb that was used in that switch is no longer manufactured and I have tried to adapt a 63 bulb with some soldered on nubs and it doesn't make contact properly so it's a ground and hot lead contact problem. Only on rare occasions when driving at night does it light.
